Just a ethernet disk will not be able to provide the necessary services for Squeezebox and/or Transporter to play music - unless that disk happens to run the Slimserver software (which I assume it doesn't). You need to have a computer that runs Slimserver but this does not necessarily mean that you need a standard PC humming all the time.
Linksys NSLU2 seems to be a popular choice to build a Slimserver around. Search the forums for more information. Personally, I run Slimserver on a 800MHz fanless server with a 500GB hard drive that spins down when not in use. While setting up any of these solutions can be more complex than installing the Slimserver software on a standard PC, there are turn-key solutions available that includes everthing needed for Squeezebox and/or Transporter. But then, of course, the cost goes up. As to your question about Transporter there is no difference about the requirement for a server between that and the Sqeezebox. -- bergek Transporter - Squeezebox 3 - Serener GS-L02 - Via EPIA SP8000 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bergek's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7805 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29938 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
